I have heard good things about this place. Great service and cute place Food was good, portions extremely small and pricey. I understand that you pay more for good quality, but the price and portion size were not what I excoected.

Cute restaurant, wonderful staff. Food was great but way over priced for what it was. Ie $25 for a hamburger and $16 for a grilled cheese with no sides other then 2 ounces of slaw. Glad we tried it but likely won't be coming back.

Food was great, loved the ambiance and Kaya was very attentive. We were way too full for dessert but had talked about returning at a later date. After paying, Kaya went to grab our receipt and another waitress, Grace, came over to inform us that someone was waiting for our table. I'm sorry what? We hadn't finished drinks but were expected to vacate immediately? It truly felt like we had don't something wrong and were no longer welcome. Very disappointing for a first and last visit.

Overall experience was great! Food was excellent. Service was great. Atmosphere was great! I won't be back. Not great??? 4% service charge at the end. I'm done with restaurants that SNEAK this crap in! Simply adjust your prices accordingly. Let people know exactly what they are buying and paying when they order and stop this very poor business practice. You are STEALING from your customers! in my case EX customer. Did I check for any small print on menu? No. Why should I need to?

Scratchboard is uniquely great, the food and service is outstanding. It is unlike any other restaurant I have been to.

Went for 1pm lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Quite a small dining area with tables very close together. The major problem was that they were out of ingredients on so many items that I can't remember them all. Some mentioned were the roast chicken, grilled cheese, burger, chicken sandwich and orange martini. So we ordered the tuna melt. Sandwich was ok but the side dish was extremely tiny. Would be a hard restaurant to recommend.

The restaurant was not crowded, but service was very slow. About 20 minutes before water was poured and 40 before drink orders were taken. They were out of three different menu items at noon on a Tuesday.

Update
After a few poor experiences we opted to give it one last go for a dinner recently. While they were out of some food, the service was excellent and the food we ended up ordering was great. Glad to have renewed faith.

Old: Was one of our favorites after moving to the area, but had very slow service the last couple of times. Outright forgotten in back area for 20+ minutes.
And food hadn't met earlier expectations. Aimed to give it one more shot, but turned away despite open tables.
Might try again some day, but lots of great options in the area.

The food was so good! I ordered the hash and while the dip didn't go with it, once I got it home and was able to add some hot sauce it was perfection. My friend got a biscuit sandwich and potatoes which she loved. The portion sizes were that perfect amount of not too small, not too big.

Scratch board kitchen strives to have local and fresh food. Their menu is always amazing always changing a little bit. if you love the summer avocado toast you'll love the fall spring and winter avocado toast. They put new spins on everything. The drinks are so fun. the atmosphere is quaint and adorable and the staff has always been amazing and beyond nice.

Really enjoyed this place! Stopped by with a few friends and were seated right away. It was decorated for the holidays and had a really cute vibe. The happy hour menu was unbeatable and staff was very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back!

The chicken was good but the accompanying items overwhelmed the main part of the dish. A more simple dish with chicken, potatoes, and a vegetable would have improved the dish. Got the trout dip appetizer. The dip was good but came with chips which we didn't want and no substitution were allowed.

Great spot with cute seasonal decor and food to match. My husband and I split a pumpkin spice pop tart which was really like a brown sugary cinnamon slice of heaven. I had a bananas foster latte which was really sweet (as to be expected) but super good. We both had the biscuits and gravy and they were delicious - especially the biscuit but could have been heavier with the gravy. Service was great too. All in all very good and would go back!
